摘要：According to the Energy Research Corporation (EPE), the share of hydroelectric power in Brazil’s energy mix ought to continue to be significant, because two-thirds of its total potential, 260,000 MW, is yet to be utilized. The fact that most of it is not located where the consumers are would make exploiting it uneconomic if Brazil did not have such an effective electricity transmission network. What push up costs are environmental issues and the numerous taxes and sector charges that must be incorporated into energy prices, which may ultimately undermine the competitiveness of Brazilian businesses.
